I’ve been to all the other sites here, and this is the first time I stayed at site #1. Probably the best view out of the 4. Private, lots of space, good signal. I set up my shelter facing the river and it was amazing.
Perfect location, secluded and not too close to other sites on property. Access to creek was great, and all the features of the site were well maintained. Definitely would recommend.
